Blockchain - Security information is limited to the integrity of the ledger and the tech supporting it. There is little talk about associated threats like phishing, malware, implementation exploits, and tech vulnerabilities.


McAfee's team broke blockchain threats into four groups:

  1. Phishing - To obtain cryptocurrencies
  2. Malware - Like Cryptojacking
  3. Implementation exploits - When the implementer / user doesn't understand the tech
  4. Tech vulnerabilities - When best practices are ignored
